Abstract
In this study, a homogeneous acid-catalyzed reaction of a series of benzaldehydes, benzylamines, and Meldrum's acid was presented, allowing the novel one-pot and multicomponent synthesis of hexahydroquinolines with high stereoselectivity. The current strategy has advantages including high regioselectivity, good efficiency, reasonable diversity, utilization of an inexpensive and safe catalyst, and easy purification of products by simple recrystallization. The current reaction utilizes 2 equiv of Meldrum's acid, 3 equiv of benzaldehyde derivatives, and one equiv of amine derivatives to yield (4'S,5'S,7'S)-1'-benzyl-2,2-dimethyl-4',5',7'-triphenyl-3',4',7',8'-tetrahydro-1'H-spiro[[1,3]dioxane-5,6'-quinoline]-2',4,6(5'H)-trione derivatives.

Abstract
Single-step synthesis of novel 4-hydrazinothiazole derivatives 6a-e was achieved under mild conditions using the sequential four-components method involving isothiocyanate, aminoguanidine, carbonyl adduct, and α-haloketone derivatives. Deprotection of these hydrazinothiazoles was influenced by acylation, providing a novel group of diacylated molecular structures with a broader scope for the design of thiazolyl-containing drugs 7a and 7b. FTIR, 1 H/13 C NMR, LC-MS spectroscopy, and CHN elemental analyses were used to study the compound chemical structures. Using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay on human periodontal ligament fibroblast (HPDLF) cells, the 4-hydrazinothiazole derivatives were screened for cytotoxicity in an in vitro cytotoxicity investigation. The 4-hydrazinothiazole compound 6b bearing an isopropylidene-hydrazino group demonstrated strongly potent cytotoxicity against CAKI1 (IC50 = 1.65 ± 0.24 μM) and A498 (IC50 of 0.85 ± 0.24 μM). Furthermore, the chloroacetyl-containing thiazole compound 7a displayed efficient inhibition of growth against the test cell lines CAKI1 and A498 at low micromolar concentrations, IC50 0.78 and 0.74 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Benzimidazoles are classified as a category of heterocyclic compounds. Molecules having benzimidazole motifs show promising utility in organic and scientific studies. A series of mono-substituted benzimidazoles were synthesized by ZnO-NPs via cyclocondensation between substituted aromatic aldehydes and o-phenylene diamine. The synthesized compounds were characterized and compared with the traditional methods. The nano-catalyzed method displayed a higher yield, shorter time and recyclable catalyst. The DFT study and antioxidant activity were investigated for benzo[d]imidazole derivatives. Compound 2a exhibited the highest antioxidant activity among the tested compounds. We focused on the catalytic activity of ZnO in the synthesis of heterocyclic structures with the goal of stimulating further progress in this field. The superiorities of this procedure are high yield of product, low amounts of catalyst and short reaction time.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the major healthcare challenges across the globe. Several anticancer drugs are available on the market but they either lack specificity or have poor safety, severe side effects, and suffer from resistance. So, there is a dire need to develop safer and target-specific anticancer drugs. More than 85% of all physiologically active pharmaceuticals are heterocycles or contain at least one heteroatom. Nitrogen heterocycles constituting the most common heterocyclic framework. In this study, we have compiled the FDA approved heterocyclic drugs with nitrogen atoms and their pharmacological properties. Moreover, we have reported nitrogen containing heterocycles, including pyrimidine, quinolone, carbazole, pyridine, imidazole, benzimidazole, triazole, β-lactam, indole, pyrazole, quinazoline, quinoxaline, isatin, pyrrolo-benzodiazepines, and pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines, which are used in the treatment of different types of cancer, concurrently covering the biochemical mechanisms of action and cellular targets.

Abstract
A series of novel 5-(3,5-disubstituted-1H-indol-2-yl)-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-2,6-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazines (3a-l) were synthesized in single step from 3,5-disubstituted indole-2-carbohydrazide and 4-aminoantipyrine under acidic conditions with excellent yields. The various spectroscopic methods were used to prove the formation of all these products. The compounds 3a, 3b, 3e, 3f, 3i and 3j exhibited excellent antibacterial and antifungal activities with an MIC value of 3.125 µg/ml against the tested pathogens and anti-tuberculosis inhibitory potential against M. tuberculosis which is equivalent to standard drug. The antidiabetic activity of the compounds 3a and 3b showed the maximum potential as glucosidase inhibitors with IC50 = 47.21 μg/ml and IC50 = 48.36 μg/ml, respectively. The physicochemical characteristics like ADMET, drug-likeness and bioactivity scores for these molecules were also disclosed. To comprehend the electronic behavior of compound 3a, density functional theory estimations at the DFT/B3LYP level via 6-31G++ (d, p) have been carried out to replicate the structure and geometry. The first-order hyperpolarizability calculation was used to calculate the nonlinear visual feature of compound 3a. The charge transfer interface among the structure is elucidated by the estimated HOMO-LUMO analysis. Further, molecular docking studies were carried out for synthesized compounds with human maltase-glucoamylase (PDB: 2QMJ).

Abstract
Knoevenagel condensation is an entrenched, prevailing, prominent arsenal following greener principles in the generation of α, β-unsaturated ketones/carboxylic acids by involving carbonyl functionalities and active methylenes. This reaction has proved to be a major driving force in many multicomponent reactions indicating the prolific utility towards the development of biologically fascinating molecules. This eminent reaction was acclimatised on different pharmacophoric aldehydes (benzimidazole, β-carboline, phenanthrene, indole, imidazothiadiazole, pyrazole etc.) and active methylenes (oxindole, barbituric acid, Meldrum's acid, thiazolidinedione etc.) to generate the library of chemical compounds. Their potential was also explicit to understand the significance of functionalities involved, which thereby evoke further developments in drug discovery. Furthermore, most of these reaction products exhibited remarkable anticancer activity in nanomolar to micromolar ranges by targeting different cancer targets like DNA, microtubules, Topo-I/II, and kinases (PIM, PARP, NMP, p300/CBP) etc. This review underscores the efficiency of the Knoevenagel condensation explored in the past six-year to generate molecules of pharmacological interest, predominantly towards cancer. The present review also provides the aspects of structure-activity relationships, mode of action and docking study with possible interaction with the target protein.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver cancer is predicted to be the sixth most diagnosed cancer globally and fourth leading cause of cancer deaths. In this study, a series of indole-3-isoxazole-5-carboxamide derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their anticancer activities. The chemical structures of these of final compounds and intermediates were characterized by using IR, HRMS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and element analysis. RESULTS The cytotoxic activity was performed against Huh7, MCF7 and HCT116 cancer cell lines using sulforhodamine B assay. Some compounds showed potent anticancer activities and three of them were chosen for further evaluation on liver cancer cell lines based on SRB assay and real-time cell growth tracking analysis. Compounds were shown to cause arrest in the G0/G1 phase in Huh7 cells and caused a significant decrease in CDK4 levels. A good correlation was obtained between the theoretical predictions of bioavailability using Molinspiration calculation, Lipinski's rule of five, and experimental verification. These investigations reveal that indole-isoxazole hybrid system have the potential for the development of novel anticancer agents. CONCLUSIONS This study has provided data that will form the basis of further studies that aim to optimize both the design and synthesis of novel compounds that have higher anticancer activities.

Abstract
An effective and condition-controlled way to synthesize with high selectivity a variety of functionalized indoles with potent biological properties has been developed. Notably, 2,4-dialkynyl indole products were obtained by direct double C-H bond alkynylation, whereas alkynyl at the C4 position could convert to carbonyl to generate 2-alkynyl-3,4-diacetyl indoles fast and effectively. Additionally, a one-pot relay catalytic reaction led to 2,5-di-alkynyl-3,4-diacetyl indoles when using a carbonyl group as the directing group and by controlling the type and quantity of additives. A possible mechanism was proposed based on many studies including deuterium-exchange experiments, the necessary conditions of product conversion, and the effect of water on the reaction.

Abstract
Nanoscale engineering is one of the novel methods to cure multitudes of diseases, such as types of cancers, neurological disorders, and infectious illnesses. Viruses can play a vital role in nanoscale engineering due to their specific properties like minuscule size, high stability in different body conditions, and large-scale production. Viral-like particles (VLPs) as specific nanoscale scaffolds can encapsulate a wide range of cargos, including nucleic acids, proteins, peptides, and drugs. The Exterior portion of VLPs can be changed by genetical or chemical conjugation as well as targeting ligands or peptides. The aforementioned features of VLPs can be used in several applications, such as drug delivery, bioimaging, tissue engineering, vaccine production, and disease detection. This review article attempts to investigate appearance characteristics, modification strategies, and manufacturing methods of VLPs. Additionally, drug delivery to cancer cells as one of the VLPs applications along with different cellular uptake mechanisms of VLPs by cancer cells are chosen for investigation. This review also tries to gather most of the recent studies of drug delivery to cancer cells by VLPs.

Abstract
Background
The sixteen (16) designed data set of substituted aryl amine-based triazolopyrimidine were docked against Plasmodium falciparum dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (PfDHODH) employing Molegro Virtual Docker (MVD) software and their pharmacokinetic property determined through SwissADME predictor.
Results
The docking studies shows compound D16, 5-((6-methoxy-5-methyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-yl)amino)benzo[b]thiophen-4-ol to be the most interactive and stable derivative (re-rank score = − 114.205 kcal/mol) resulting from the hydrophobic as well as hydrogen interactions. The hydrogen interaction produced one hydrogen bond with the active residues LEU359 (H∙∙H∙∙O) at a bond distances of 2.2874 Å. All the designed derivatives were found to pass the Lipinski rule of five tests, supporting the drug-likeliness of the designed compounds.
Conclusion
The ADME analysis revealed a perfect concurrence with the Lipinski Ro5, where the derivatives were found to possess good pharmacokinetic properties such as molar refractivity (MR), number of rotatable bonds (nRotb), log of skin permeability (log Kp), blood-brain barrier (BBB). These results could a deciding factor for the optimization of novel antimalarial compounds.

Chem Biol Interact 2021; 345:109565. [PMID: 34161784 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2021.109565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Revised: 12/24/2020] [Accepted: 06/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
In previous study, we examined the anticancer effects of novel Biginelli-hybrids against HeLa cell line on 2D monolayer culture. The five most effective compounds were chosen for further analysis of their anticancer activity against HeLa spheroids. Using the 3D models implies the possible differences in anticancer effects and mechanisms of activity of tested compounds. The compounds 4c and 4d exerted the strongest activity against 3D HeLa spheroids and induced to some extent loosened cell-cell contacts in spheroids, leading to the largest reduction in the diameter of the spheroids. Additionally, the highest accumulation of the cells in the subG1 phase of the cell cycle was observed after the treatment with compounds 4d and 4c, while the compound 4f led to the G2/M arrest. The invasion potential of treated HeLa cells in spheroids was monitored by imaging of spheroids embedded in a matrix made of matrigel and collagen and by determination of MMP2, MMP9, and VEGF gene expression levels. The compound 4l did not show invasion-suppressive activity, while the compounds 4c and 4d exerted the strongest anti-invasive activity.

Abstract
A series of novel 1,3-thiazole derivatives (5a-i) with a modified phenothiazine moiety were synthesized and tested against cancer cell line MCF-7 for their cytotoxicity. Most of them (5a-i) were less cytotoxic or had no activity against MCF-7 cancer cell line. MATERIAL AND METHODS The IC50 value of compound (4) was 33.84 μM. The compounds (5a-i) were also evaluated for antimicrobial activities, but no significant activity was observed. The antioxidant activity was conducted for target compounds (5a-i). The IC50 value of compound (5b) was 0.151mM. RESULTS The total amount of energy, ACE (atomic contact energy), energy of receptor (PDB: 5G5J), and ligand interaction of structure (4) were found to be 22.448 Kcal.mol-1 , -247.68, and -91.91 Kcal.mol-1, respectively. The structure (4) is well binded with the receptor because the values of binding energy, steric energy, and the number of hydrogen bondings are -91.91, 22.448 kcal.mol-1, and 2, respectively. It shows that structure (4) has good cytotoxicity with MCF-7 in vitro. CONCLUSION The increasing of docking ability of structures (5a-i) with the receptor is presented in increasing order as (5f)>(5e)>(5g)>(5a)>(5b)>(5d)>(5c)>(5i)>(5h). The structure bearing substitution as thiosemicarbazone (4), nitrogen heterocyclic (5f), halogen (5e), and azide (5g) showed good cytotoxicity activity in vitro.

Abstract
A detailed computational study covering density functional theory (DFT), molecular docking, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of some spirocyclic compounds interacting with a B-DNA has been performed. DFT calculations were performed using the B3LYP functional with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set and were used to identify the electrophilic and nucleophilic centers in electrostatic forces. NMR results were in agreement with previous experimental data and approved the reliability of the used method and basis set. The in silico screening results showed that spirocyclic compounds fulfill the Lipinski's rule of five and can be developed as potential oral bioavailable drug candidates. Based on molecular docking results, the binding affinities follow the 4c < 4d < 4a = 4b < 4e < 4g < 4f order and ranged from -8.6 to -9.7 kcal/mol indicating a reasonably favorable interaction between DNA and investigated compounds. The adducts were stabilized by hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions. The MD simulations performed for 100 ns and the results are reported in terms of variables such as root-mean-square deviation (RMSD), root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF), center of mass (COM) separation distance between DNA and ligands, intermolecular hydrogen bonds, and radial distribution functions (RDF). The MD simulations demonstrated that compounds 4a and 4d bind into the minor groove of 1BNA and may act as potential biological probes for B-DNA.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Recent success in studying the proteome, as a source of biomarkers, has completely changed our understanding of leukemia (blood cancer). The identification of differentially expressed proteins, such as relapse and drug resistance proteins involved in leukemia by using various ionization sources and mass analyzers of mass spectrometry techniques, has helped scientists find better diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment strategies. With the aid of this powerful analytical technique, we can investigate the qualification/quantification of proteins, protein-protein interactions, post-translational modifications, and find the correlation between proteins and their genes with the hope of finding the missing parts of the successful therapy puzzle. In this review, we followed different MS sources and analyzers which used for monitoring various type of leukemia, then focused on MALDI-TOF MS as a quick and reliable method for studying proteins. Due to several review published for other techniques, the present review is the first work in this field. Also, by classifying more than 400 proteins, we have found 42 proteins are involved in two or three different stages of leukemia. Finally, we have suggested six specific biomarkers for AML, one for ALL, three biomarkers with a role in the etiology of leukemia and 13 markers with the potential for further studies.

Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVE Calculus Bovis (CB) has been employed to treat diseases for a long time. It has been identified to play significant anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor roles. However, the mechanism of treating primary liver cancer (PLC) remains to be revealed. This study aims to clarify the molecules and mechanisms of CB in treating PLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS After oral bioavailability (OB) and drug-likeness (DL) screening, 15 small molecules were identified as the potential ingredients against PLC. Following this, related targets network constructions and pathways were applied to clarify the mechanism of CB in treating PLC. An in vitro experiment was carried out to identify the function of CB in treating PLC. RESULTS Eleven compounds of CB were identified that play an anti-PLC role, including oleanolic acid, ergosterol, ursolic acid, etc. The potential targets which were observed include IL6, MAPK-8, VEGFA, Caspase-3, etc. Further analysis showed that the mechanism of CB in the treatment of PLC involved apoptosis-related pathways and immune-related pathways. CONCLUSION In summary, the current study combines network pharmacology and in vitro experiments to reveal the mechanism of CB against PLC. We concluded that 11 ingredients of CB have an anti-PLC effect. Furthermore, CB plays a key role in treating PLC mainly by apoptosisrelated pathways and immune-related pathways. Our experiment verifies that CB promotes the apoptosis of SMMC-7721.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-PD-1/PD-L1-based therapy has emerged recently, and we aimed to figure out the latent value of different clinical and molecular factors to predict the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) therapy compared with non-immunotherapy in the first-line setting. METHODS We assessed the clinical outcomes of 8711 patients in 13 trials receiving anti-PD-1/PD-L1-based therapy or non-immunotherapy as first-line treatment, and different predictors were investigated. RESULTS Overall, compared with non-immunotherapy, anti-PD-1/PD-L1-based therapy reduced the risk of death by 31% (HR 0.69, 95%CI: 0.60-0.79) for all cancers. Stratified analysis showed that the progression-free survival (PFS) benefit from anti-PD-1/PD-L1-based therapy existed in all three PD-L1 status subgroups (tumour proportion score, TPS ≥50%: HR 0.54, 95%CI: 0.38-0.78; TPS 1-49%: HR 0.56, 95%CI: 0.46-0.68; TPS <1%: HR 0.82, 95%CI: 0.73-0.91; interaction, p < 0.01). ICI therapy also prolonged PFS in males (HR 0.64, 95%CI: 0.50-0.83) and younger patients (HR 0.70, 95%CI: 0.52-0.93), and they might prolong overall survival (OS) in patients without brain metastasis (HR 0.54, 95%CI: 0.41-0.71). CONCLUSION PD-L1 expression level alone is imperfect to predict the efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1-based therapies as first-line cancer treatment. Meanwhile, sex, age, and status of brain metastases might also be predictive parameters for the selection of cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune-related genes possess promising prognostic potential in multiple cancer types. Here, we describe the development of an immune-related prognostic signature for predicting prostate cancer recurrence. METHODS Prostate cancer gene expression profiles for 477 prostate cases, as well as accompanying follow-up information were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GEO. The samples were divided into 3 groups and immune gene sets significantly associated with prognosis were identified by evaluating the relationship between the expression of 1039 immune genes and prognosis in the training set. Relative expression levels of these genes were used to identify prognostic gene pairs. LASSO was used for feature selection and robust biomarkers selected. Finally, the identified immune prognostic markers were validated using dataset and GEO validation dataset and their performance compared with existing prognostic models. RESULTS In total, 87 immune genes, significantly associated with prognosis, were identified and 2447 immune gene pairs (IRGPs) established. Univariate survival analysis identified 641 prognosis-associated immune gene pairs. 8-IRGPs were obtained via LASSO feature selection and an 8-IRGPs signature established. The 8-IRGPs signature exhibited an independent prognosis value in prostate cancer of the training set, test set, and external validation set (p = <0.001). The 5- year survival AUC in both the training set and the validation set was >0.7. The 8-IRGPs outperformed clinical tumor classification features, including T, N, radiation therapy (RT) and targeted molecular therapy (TMT) (p <0.01). In addition, we compared the prognostic characteristics of 8-IRGPs with 3 reported prostate cancers and found that 8-IRGPs achieved a high C index (0.85) and had the highest predictive performance within 10 years of follow-up (HR: 10.5). Finally, we integrated T, N, RT, TMT, and 8-IRGPs and generated a novel alignment chart to aid the prediction of prostate cancer recurrence in individual patients (p <0.01). CONCLUSION Here, we identified an 8-IRGP novel prognostic signature for the prediction of prostate cancer recurrence.

Abstract
Aim: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive cancer with very limited clinical therapies. Herein, we have designed novel mercaptobenzimidazole derivatives (1-7) as multitarget antineoplastic drugs and assessed their antiproliferative profiles on an experimental model for GBM, the C6 glioma line. Results: The target compounds were synthesized in few steps with reasonable yields (33-90%). Compounds 1 (∼18 μM) and 4 (∼20 μM) showed dose-dependent antiproliferative effects on C6 glioma and significantly increased early apoptosis, but only 4 disrupted the cell cycle progression and did not induce autophagy. Docking simulations suggested these compounds as dual kinase and colchicine binding site inhibitors. Conclusion: In spite of the limited selective toxicity, 4 hold the potential to be further optimized for the treatment of GBM.

Abstract
In this study, six pyrazole derivatives containing hetero atoms have been analyzed using theoretical calculation method. The ligands were tested by HF, B3LYP and M06-2X methods using 3-21G, 6-31G, 6-31G(d, p), and sdd basis sets. The results showed that Ligand 5 has a HOMO value of -7.470 at HF / 6-31g (d.p) level. These ligands were investigated in IR, NMR, and UV-VIS spectrum, then experimental values were compared with IR and NMR spectrum data. The solvents, whose effects were investigated in UV-VIS spectrum, were gas phase (ε = 1), toluene (ε = 2.3741), chloroform (ε = 4.7113), methanol (ε = 32.613), water (ε = 78.3553), and n-methylformamide-mixture (ε = 181.56). Metal complexes of tested ligands were produced with copper, nickel, and zinc. Lastly, the interactions between these six pyrazole derivatives and three proteins, namely 3dju, 2IJN, and 1JNX, were also examined. Biological and anti-cancer properties of six pyrazole derivatives were analyzed by DockingServer. In docking calculations, Estimated Free Energy of Binding value of Ligand 5 was found to be -4.87, -4.82, -1.73 respectively, which indicated the highest biological activity.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the similarity between the physical and chemical properties of different acaricides, determine whether Lipinski's Rule of Five (RO5) used in the design of drug molecules is suitable for screening acaricides, and provide methods for selection of new acaricides. We evaluated and predicted the molecular properties of >180 acaricides using Molinspiration. We calculated physicochemical property parameters, such as log p, molecular weight (MW), and number of hydrogen bond donors (HBDs), hydrogen bond acceptors (HBAs), and rotatable bonds (Rot B). We then conducted qualitative and quantitative analyses of the physicochemical properties of acaricides. The MW of all acaricides ranged from 141 to 663, with an average value of 337.8. The number of HBDs ranged from 0 to 5, with an average value of 0.46. The number of HBAs ranged from 0 to 9, with an average value of 4.07. The log p ranged from -0.79 to 8.74, with an average value of 4.61. The number of Rot B ranged from 0 to 14, with an average value of 5.62. Except for the microbial and plant-derived acaricides, the molecular properties of the remaining acaricides are in accordance with the Lipinski's RO5. Therefore, the Lipinski's RO5 can provide a basis for screening new acaricide drugs.

An enterogenic infection occurs when intestinal mucosal disruption is followed by the invasion of intestinal bacteria into the blood and distant organs, which can result in severe diseases or even death. Our previous study using Rhesus monkeys as an in vivo model revealed that methamphetamine (MA) induced intestinal mucosal barrier damage, which poses a high risk of enterogenic infection. However, how methamphetamine causes intestinal mucosal barrier damage remains largely unknown. In this study, we employed an in vitro model, and found that MA treatment could inhibit the expression of miR-181c, which directly targets and regulates TNF-α, and ultimately induces apoptosis and damages the intestinal barrier. Moreover, we measured TNF-α serum levels as well as the intestinal mucosal barrier damage indicators (diamine oxidase, d-lactic acid, and exotoxin) and found that their levels were significantly higher in MA-dependents than in healthy controls (P < 0.001). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report evidencing that miR-181c is involved in MA-induced intestinal barrier injury via TNF-α regulation, which introduces novel potential therapeutic targets for MA-dependent intestinal diseases.
